relies primarily on negative feedback mechanisms

effective in coordinating cell, tissue, and organ activities on a sustained, long-term basis

uses epinephrine and norepinephrine as chemical messengers

relies on release of chemicals that bind to specific receptors

Hypothalamic neurons synthesize hormones like ADH that increase the elimination of water from the body

It secretes regulatory hormones that influence endocrine cells in the anterior pituitary gland

All of the above are correct

It has autonomic centers that exert direct neural control over endocrine cells of the adrenal cortex

They are synthesized by ribosomes and are lipophilic

They are derivatives of arachidonic acid

They are chains of amino acids such as glycoproteins, small proteins, or polypeptides

They are also called biogenic amines and are synthesized from tyrosine

insulin

parathyroid hormone

glucagon

calcitonin

epinephrine

norepinephrine

TSH

oxytocin

ensures that all hormones destined for the pituitary are diluted in general circulation before entering the adenohypophysis

ensures that RH from the hypothalamus synthesizes the correct amount of a specific hormone

None of the above is correct

provides efficient means of ensuring that all hypothalamic hormones will reach target cells in the adenohypophysis before being diluted in general circulation

It stimulates nurse cells, which then promote the maturation of sperm

It stimulates production of sex hormones

It stimulates the breakdown of stored triglycerides by adipocytes

It stimulates smooth muscle contraction in the ductus deferens and prostate gland

It does not change at all

More ADH is released to increase the solute concentration of blood and urine

ADH secretion increases causing vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure

ADH secretion is inhibited by drinking alcohol

High levels of cortisol stimulate other steroid hormones to be released

ACTH participates in a negative feedback loop with cortisol

The cortisol acts synergistically with other hormones

CRH from the hypothalamus inhibits ACTH release

F cells / a hormone identical to growth hormone–inhibiting hormone

alpha cells / pancreatic polypeptide

delta cells / glucagon

beta cells / insulin

It will decrease storage of glucagon in the cell

It will facilitate the transport and utilization of glucose by cells.

Both A and B are functions of insulin.

It promotes protein synthesis.

stimulation of glycogen formation

stimulation of amino acid absorption and protein synthesis

breakdown of triglycerides in adipose tissue

accelerated glucose uptake and utilization

pancreas and adrenal cortex; produce insulin

brain, kidneys, and digestive tract; absorb glucose without insulin stimulation

liver; produce glucagon

liver; produce glucose

Glucose is lost in the urine, which increases blood volume.

Less water is reclaimed by osmosis in the kidneys.

A and B are correct.

Water loss reduces blood volume, promoting secretion of ADH

melanocyte-stimulating hormone

prolactin

melatonin

aldosterone
